Since its Thursday most likely folks are thinking about what to do this weekend...anyone got any good plans? I'll most likely be painting my kitchen that we are in the process of remodeling......so anyone else doing anything fun?
This afternoon I'm heading out to help a bunch of 4th graders rake leaves for something my son's class is doing! :thumbs:
I'll be spending the weekend remodeling a house we are moving into. Actually kind of fun even though it's work, except for painting - I REALLY hate painting!Quote:

Then, finally I will be moved in.Quote:

Meet up with friends I've not seen in a while, play guitar, take the wife shopping and generally living life with a passion.
Thanks PuterGeekGirl for starting a topic that's a little bit different! :thumbs:

I'll be painting my bedroom and hopefully putting down some carpet.
OMG, you'll have to let me know how that movie is...I really can't stand SpongeBob, but my son wants to go...told him he may have to get his dad to take him as I'm not sure I'm actually gonna spend $ to take him to that dumb thing!Quote:

If The Incredibles is out I want to try to see it.
And of course playing City of Heroes if I can squeeze it in there somewhere.
Yeah, but they close up at the end of summer, so it's a seasonal thingQuote:

I'd like to see that happen around the DC metro area.Quote:

We have one around here. It's pretty cool, but it's more of a date thing. Not very confortable for the people sitting in the back because it's hard to see.Quote:

To clarify, I bought some new bowling balls. :devil: :cool:
ah crap, I just remembered that I was supposed to start in a bowling league on Sunday
Not enough to actually pay to go see it and the price of popcorn and such!Quote:

Both our drive ins are long gone. They were a great place to hang out, bunch of us would get some Chinese food, beers, lounge chairs, no cops kicking us off the corner...
I miss teh drive in :sad:
Done! I think I may actually have a driver this weekend. Normally, I'm the driver, so I'm going to live it up. https://forums.windrivers.com/images.../2004/11/1.gifQuote:

On Saturday I've got 7 cubic yards of topsoil to shovel into the garden. Anyone in North West London with a wheelbarrow/shovel welcome!
Sunday definately a day of rest!
Coming round for the Birmingham/Liverpool game on Saturday Trip? 10am if you're interested. :thumbs:Quote:

Dont break any bonesQuote:

What exactly does that consist of? I've got plaster walls in my house but I've never floated them. Sounds like fun.Quote:

Horsehair plaster is a bit different than modern plaster, it's really gritty. The room I'm working on is circ.1750. There is actually hair tufts in the plaster.... that being said this is what I've done:Quote:

Time consuming, but when it's done it looks great.
:thumbs:
That does sound like a lot of work. Guess I'll stick to just painting over the plaster. :thumbs2:Quote:
